Today is Monday and I never feel too good on this day. Usually I feel spent and am reflecting on what happened at church yesterday. Unfortunately I tend to see the mistakes and failures more than the successes. There is a song I could sing that states; “rainy days and Mondays always get me down.” My wife is always supportive and tells me to count my blessings. She is right. So I take her advice and by Monday night I am on a more godly track. I am so thankful that through the years I have learned to know myself in part. I have learned that Sunday’s activities always drain me emotionally and that it takes some time for to build up emotional strength again. Today, however, I am going to a workshop on leadership. I will spend the next couple of days learning more about how to lead. I enjoy learning so I am looking forward to gaining more knowledge that can sharpen my skills as a pastor. However, I know deep within myself that only God can give me the strength and wisdom that I need to minister effectively. So, today as I go to Springfield I am praying for my heart to be renewed and I am trusting God for that gift.
